Review of Days with My Stepsister

One of the most stunning anime in terms of shot composition and overall cinematography. Other than that, a very slow show that is refreshing compared to the slop of seasonal isekai and degenerate taboo over sexualized shows that we’ve culture has and always has been associated with. Perhaps, there was a bit more room for some delinquency. Instead, the show is about a two high school students who are now step siblings. That’s it. That’s the show as it breaks down their complicated thoughts in their new environment. And it’s not bad. It’s not the great either. Every character is more complicated than the showlets on, but no character raises their voice past what feels like a monotone whisper. Even the most conservative family in Japan would still have more emotional depth in how they act. The show has a lot of strong characteristics like the aforementioned cinematography as well as the score. I would say this show is more art than anime. Episode 9 and 10 are the strongest overall. Unsatisfying ending. Honestly, I cannot recommend for the average anime fan unless you really want something different. Personally, I feel My Dress Up Darling is a much stronger romance and show.
